I'm terrified of what I might have severed,
I ended up too high, never learned to fly,
So coming down I'm very thankful (you were there)"

This has obviously been an interesting month for me as I slowly
approach my way to midterms and final examinations (eep!) The
Saskatchewan Roughriders just lost and well, life has been going on.

I just spent a week in Edmonton and had a great time. I spent a
fair amount of time with my best friend which compensated for all the
time that I missed. This also included going to the Temple of Boom
which was a not so bad way to introduce him to the rave culture. It
was packed with three levels of music and a bunch of cheesy movies
being shown on the venue's screen. I didn't fancy the movies too
much, but the music was the best. You try to fit 600 in a 350
capacity historical landmark and watch the walls crack and split open
as it falls apart. Goodbye first stone structure west of Winnipeg.
This was an interesting experience indeed. This week there is one
final event called Farewell done by PPM at Diva's. It's so cool
because it's full circle when the DJ who founded PPM had begun his
career there.

Anyhow, back to Edmonton. Most memorable experiences, well first
on was buying a Playgirl in the airport and getting a look of
disbelief from the cashier. Ha!! Made good reading material on the
plane. That and the latest XY. Personally I think they should look at
Canadian boys. That would make me buy about oh.. 20 copies..

Anyhow I met loads of IRC peoples, and fell for one in
particular.. I remember being told to stop looking and I just might
find someone by default. Well not into one week of taking this advice
it happened. We hit it off right off the bat and as a result spend a
lot of time together. The last night when I was in the Roost I told
him how I felt, and that I would give him as much time as possible to
sort things out. He did not say "no" which I breathed a huge sigh of
relief over. When I left he hugged me goodbye I told him I would miss
him and he kissed me (!). This was intense as I had never been kissed
by another guy before. I was so swept off my feet. It was the best
because I had loved the fact that he kissed me and it was perfect. I
wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

My trip had made me the happiest man when I got home. I not only
made loads of friends, I also had the chance to experience my first
kiss..
